NIST announced a Random Bit Generation Workshop December 5-6, 2012, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The intended audience includes industry and government. Registration is limited and closes November 26, 2012.
The workshop will discuss SP 800-90A/B/C (with the primary focus expected to be on the entropy sources in SP 800-90B).

SHA-3 winner announced
Congrats to the cryptographers of Keccak for winning NIST's SHA-3 competition.
The short SHA-3 Selection Announcement is worth the read.
I've already been asked the following question:
Q: When will SHA-3 be an approved security function for FIPS 140-2 cryptographic modules?
The answer is easy, but I do not know the date:
A: As soon as it is included in Annex A: Approved Security Functions for FIPS 140-2
